When I couldn't even get my own newly added printfs to show up, that was the tipoff. Redhat 6.1 installs postmaster in /bin. I didn't know it, and have been building/installing elsewhere. /bin, of course, is first in my PATH, before *my* pgsql install bin. Ouch. Timestamping is now working. Thanks much for your efforts.
